Cincinnati Area Thread (Tri-State, Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana)

Back when I still had the MR-S sitting in the garage next to the Tacoma, it was my 'old' car. It had power windows, and AC, and that was it. I loved that car, it wasn't even that old (2004), weighed nothing, and was a hoot to drive. Plus, mid engine cars sound epic when you're in them.

 

Agreed, my cousin used to have a 71 Pantera. That thing screamed

 

I always wanted one of those cars, but I'm too tall and now I'm too tall and fat.


Maybe I'll look into a new BMW Supra

 

If it didn't scream Cemetery Gates, I don't want any.

FJ40 is still sitting in the driveway with bad brakes collecting money. Sounds like fun. Luke is a good dude, sold him my FJ40 pedal car a few years ago.

 

Where did you get that? I want one.

Here is the thread about:

Here is the site to buy the panel from:
https://mesocustoms.com/products/2nd-gen-tacoma-overhead-switch-panel

I bought the tall Toyota style switches here:

Supposedly you can use the OTRATTW.com carling toggle switches - which I had but it requires filing the switch hole in the panel to make it fit and I suck at creative modification so I just bought new switches.

Additionally I distroyed one of the toggles trying to get it out. Beer was involved.

 

I’m disappointed no one asked about “high beam assist”....

 

It activates a relay for providing power to the other 5 switches. Pods, light bar and roof light and awesome instantly to the front when flipping the stalk to highbeam...but more fun is activating the rear pods and strobes when some little shit is riding your ass and it builds to a boiling point when it’s time to back the F$CK UP!!

Comes in quite handy on the 50mph stretch between Milford and Mariemont on 50 West.

 

Look good!!!

 

I need some wheel bearings. Which TW member to I roll with on ordering a couple new ones. I think I hit up Bama Taco for the last pair. Seemed have gotten ok miles out of them.


Edit:

Looks like Bama hasn't been on since May of last year so that looks out the window for him lol.

 

....well piss

 

welp.

 

@Jibbs time to get you LC!

 

That aint worth 6K

 

Yeah I'm out on that. If I get an 80 the intention is to not go insane modding it anyway, I really just want it to beat on and wheel once in a while so I don't have to put tons of miles on the taco. I'd like it to last to be my first kids truck
